The biography of the Aerosmith group began in 1970 in Boston, because the team is sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston". According to some reports, the future participants of Stephen Tallarico, known as Steve Tyler, and Joe Perry met in Sunapi long before that. The first has already performed with the Chain Reaction collected by him and released a couple of singles. The second played in Jam Band along with the friend - the bass guitarist Tom Hamilton.
Since the performers coincided in genre preferences - Hard and Glam Rock, Blues and Rock and Roll, Perry offered Tyler to collect a new team. The drummer Joey Kramer from Turnpikes and Guitarist Ray Tabano, who had lost his place in Brad Whitford in about a year later, were joined. In addition to the guitar, Brad knew how to play a pipe.
The first concert of the new team took place at Nipmuc Regional High School, still called The Hookers. The word "Aerosmith" came to the head of the splash, according to rumors, it was generally his nickname. At first, the group performed on bars and schools, earning $ 200 in the evening, then moved to Boston, but still copied Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. Over time and with the experience of Aerosmith gained its own recognizable face.
In 1971, on a speech at the club Max 'Kansas City, COLUMBIA RECORDS President Clive Davis was heard from Boston. The manager promised to make musicians with stars and kept the word. But the performers did not stand the shipment of glory and wealth.
Satellites of Aerosmith on tour and houses were drugs and alcohol, but the number of fans grew in geometric progression. And in 1978, the guys managed to play in the production of "SGT. Pepper's Lonely Night Club Band" Robert Stigwood, the producer of paintings "Jesus Christ - Superstar", "stay alive" and "Broccan".
In 1979, Jimmy Crespo came to replace Perry, and Joe was engaged in the project "Joe Perry Project". A year later Brad Whitford left. Together with Derek Saint-Holmes from Ted Nugent, he created the Whitford group - St.holmes Band. Replaced his Rick Dubone.
In this composition Aerosmith released the album "Rock in a Hard Place". However, it was clear that no one would have won the changes. The group is obliged to manager Tim Callezu, who accompanied the Perry project, and in February 1984, brought together former colleagues on the show in Boston.

In the video starts to shoot the daughter of Steve - Liv Tyler.
Musicians themselves gather the axes of the awards and titles, try the forces in the acting craft and are blunting in poor stories: Steve will postpone the operations on bundles and on the leg after the fall of the microphone rack, the Kramer will not die in the accident, Hamilton will heal from the throat cancer, and Perry will work concussion When the operator crane will die at him at the concert.
In the 2000s, Perry on the 50th anniversary received a gift from the Guns'n'Roses participant to the Slash his own guitar, which in the 70s laid to help out the money, and Hudson bought the tool in the 1990s. In March 2001, the Group was introduced into the Hall of Glory Rock and Roll.
